Ground Water Exploration with Drilling
Groundwater exploration is the investigation of underground formations to understand the hydrologic cycle, know the groundwater quality, and identify the nature, number and type of aquifers. There are different groundwater exploration methods. Surface geophysical method is one of the groundwater investigation methods. One of the surface geophysical methods is therefore the vertical electrical sounding method. Vertical electrical sounding (VES) is one to provide valuable information regarding the vertical successions of subsurface geo-materials in terms of their individual thicknesses and corresponding resistivity values. It is rapid and much effective in estimating aquifer thickness of an area and is cost effective technique for groundwater study. The objective of this study was therefore to locate two well site locations using surface geophysical methods for water supply purposes. However, hydrogeological and geological investigations were also incorporated in addition to the geophysical surveying activities for the betterment of the project. Finally, the intended well site locations with their corresponding thickness and resistivity values were identified using the integrated approaches.
The goal of a well-designed, groundwater exploration survey using geophysics is not just to find water, but to identify drill locations with the most potential for optimal production rates at the onset of the project.Economic development is often constrained by available water while water wells worldwide are becoming increasingly deeper. Drilling without adequate information about what is below ground can quickly become extremely costly and inefficient.Once the depth to the water table is known, drilling to that depth from almost any location in the target area will encounter some amount of water. The challenge is finding the quality and quantity of water necessary for development while making the best use of investment and drilling dollars.
